An example of cultural representation of Indians in the media is how Indians were portrayed through the 19th century. There was a tv show called The little house on the prairie, which was about a family that lives a simple life in the late 1800s. The story is mostly narrated by one of the daughters and the shows follow her and her family's story from her childhood to her adulthood. One of the scenes in one of the episodes on the show shows how Indians were seen at this time in history.
